I agree it’s gotten worse over the years. However, I just got back from a few days in New Jersey and boy was I relieved to be back on 89 in Vermont after that.

South Burlington is very good- probably best 0on academics. My stepson went there and thrived. Burlington is a mess for various reasons. That's all I have personal knowledge of.

You would have been downvoted anyway always cite sources when you can. At least make the knee jerk “that’s not true” less likely.

In my 58 years I’ve never heard of “February thaw” before. “January thaw” yes, February never. We’re 16 days from March, and the next week is above freezing. The “cool” weather will return, but I believe the “cold” weather is behind us.

You can find plenty of clones locally.

Find people that smoke locally. You can easily get clones. Tons of seeds around too. Lots of seed banks as well. Easy to grow and will be better than most stuff around. Don’t wet trim.

It’s called February thaw. It’s common. Don’t worry the cold will return

I agree that voting should be made easier. For everyone. But I do agree IDs should be required. Politicians have long Jerry rigged elections, that's not new or even just a republican thing. Whether it's counting Dead people in votes or redrawing districts to suit your party. There should be an even amount of polling stations, based on population density. That would solve a lot of those problems. There are problems in the way elections are handled.
I'm actually someone who's lived down south and many other places and am well aware of politicians finding legal ways to abuse the system. Term limits would be nice, but I don't see anyone calling for that. Neither party. Everyone in Congress is a corrupt piece of crap. Nancy pelosi Acts pious, but her husband seems to be one of the greatest stock traders out there. Or it's because his wife has a high position in Congress so he has knowledge of things days or week's before the public. Same with the rest of Congress. Anyone who doesn't want term limits In Congress is corrupt. But that's beside the point.
I have actually had to wait to vote. Much longer then 10 minutes, but not too often because I usually live in rural communities or small towns. And yes, in white areas, I've had long waits, especially in elections with larger then expected turnouts.
I am certain there is fraud in every election. But I've never seen wide spread fraud. Not in recent memory anyway. But if there was, you might not hear about it in an environment of censorship. Hunter Bidens laptop was evidence of censorship. But I'd still agree there probably wasn't a widespread fraud to get a demented joe Biden elected. I think that was more people voting for the lesser of 2 evils. Which is still ridiculous. Why can't there actually be good candidates? There rarely are. It's just power hungry and corrupt people.
And I don't think any teacher should be talking about their personal life in class. I don't think I ever once heard anything about my teachers relationships, family, nothing. I don't mind them banning that, but if they do for LGBTQ teachers, it should be for everyone. Teachers should just be teaching kids about math and science and reading and the typical, necessary things. But again, it's not a right to be able to teach kids anything outside of a curriculum. I don't want kids learning religion in school either.

He used to target millionaires and billionaires. Now that he is a millionaire he targets billionaires and trillionairs. He doesn’t have integrity. He figured out how to make money in the system. He is a true socialist.

Sexual orientation is a protected class. You can't legally be fired because of it. That's federal. Which overrides state law.
And law's regarding healthcare, particularly children, are the same. The law doesn't allow any children to undergo those surgeries, in those states. Or am I wrong about that? Whether they identify as trans or not. You're still not being specific and if there are specific laws in those states that say a gay person can be fired, in law or if it's just in practice, the federal courts would side with them. It is illegal to deny someone a job or housing , as the fair housing act protects them as well.
And education should focus on necessary skills. No rights are being taken away. Education is supposed to be equal. Everyone should have the opportunity to learn the same thing. Taking away someones right to education would be not allowing Black kids in school. Or not allowing them to attend a school with white's. Or not giving them the same curriculum as white people. Deciding not to teach everyone something added, is not denying anyone their rights. That's a different argument about what you think students should be taught. That's an argument worth having. But it is not the same as denying anyone's federally protected rights.

Just yesterday I looked up this data. Well not February, but the months that we have full data for. I'm using heating degree days which measure both "how cold" and "for how long?" Average temperature should have somewhat similar results. But neither are anything like using max or min, like someone did in a poorly informed LTE to Seven Days about the news that Burlington winters have warmed faster than any other place in the US that has a good airport weather station.
Anyway, here are the heating degree days (base 65F) by month for this winter, the average of the last five winters (which were already influenced by climate change) and the percent difference.

After living in Vermont for about 35 years, I think it's less climate change deniers than people remembering all the other years Vermont weather was wacky.

TLDR: Don't confuse the climate with the weather.

They wont tell you that climate (as in "climate change") is to weather what personality is to mood. Or that climate is to weather what an entire sports season is to a single game. Or that climate is to weather what your closet is to today's outfit.
They wont tell you this, because they loving pointing outside and saying "SNOW? There would NEVER be SNOW if climate change was REAL!" in their uneducated, disproportionately over-confident voice.

We used to drive on from the boat launch in Malletts Bay and come off at the Sandbar. The only problem was if there was too much snow on the ice. Neither of which is an issue anymore.
